Call for: Chiefs of Party for Anticipated USAID Projects at International Rescue Committee

Chief Of Party (COP) Experience
Our aim is to build strong relationships, fostering partnerships with local organizations and stakeholders, in anticipation of future opportunities with potential Chiefs of Party (COPs) for upcoming USAID multi-year, multi-million-dollar international development projects. By engaging with local partners, we seek to enhance project sustainability, cultural relevance, and community impact, ensuring a holistic approach to development initiatives. As such, we actively seek to connect with professionals with outstanding leadership, strategic thinking, organizational and representational skills. We are eager to hear from senior leaders with:

• 8 – 10 years’ experience leading project design and delivery within fragile or conflict context.
• Demonstrable experience leading USAID donor funded projects, preferably commercial contracts.
• Experience managing consortia of international or local partners.

These roles will be based in host countries, dependent on the location of the funding opportunity. Further details on contract type, salary and benefits package will be provided to selected candidates. IRC offers attractive packages to expats and locals.
We are also keen to hear from local candidates who can spearhead our projects. We believe this approach will leverage local expertise, foster community ownership and sustainability, and optimize resources for greater impact in IRC’s efforts. At IRC, we are deeply committed to Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion, recognizing the invaluable contributions that individuals from diverse backgrounds bring to our projects. Our commitment extends to providing lifesaving assistance and support to vulnerable populations globally, with a focus on upholding humanitarian principles and promoting human dignity.
